The review was referring to Margaret Mitchell’s famous debut novel Gone with the Wind and was the best-selling American fiction book of both 1936 and 1937. It was the only novel of Mitchell’s published during her lifetime.

You know, we’ve talked about this on Live Panel a few times, but “knowing too much” can sometimes be a problem. If you’re a literature expert, you might get overwhelmed by having to sift through too much subject knowledge in order to get to the right answer (whereas it might appear to be blindingly obvious to a generalist who might have jumped to the correct response right away.)

As it stands: Any criticism of contestants to this point will be ruled against the Site Comment Policy.

… and there’s also always the possibility of misreading or misunderstanding the clue, and coming up with the wrong answer despite knowing the right answer. Strange things happen on the stage. Minds go blank at odd times, or go down the wrong path for various reasons.

I know this is an odd question and probably the wrong place to post it, but can anyone else remember a contestant, probably in the 1980’s, female, who won a game and did NOT appear the following day. She seemed very odd and obnoxious and irritated Alex.

Are you talking about “Barbara Lowe” who appeared ineligibly (was on too many other game shows too recently) and thus was not invited to the ToC despite winning five games? (Her name is in quotes because it’s an alias she used to hide the fact that she was the same person who appeared on those other shows.)

Sorry I was not clearer and I was trying to be somewhat diplomatic, but this woman won one game and was never seen again. She was fairly young. She was extremely obnoxious and inappropriate. Gloated every time she got an answer correct.

Gutsy move by Nan, unfortunately for her it did not work out, otherwise she would have a gone into tomorrow’s game with a nice cushion 32 K. When you have that you can -somewhat- relax, just hit the buzzer when you are 100% sure and avoid”deductions” by trying to answer things you are not to sure of, in other word, ring in less often, but then it’s on the plus side.That’s how I would play it if I had an approximately comfy lead overall. As it stands, it’s anyone’s game. Players in a tournament have come back from way more than just 6.400! Well, we shall see tomorrow. A couple of categories that you know a lot about, a DD in one of that columns and BINGO!!!
One observation I made over the years again and again: if one player gets on a roll on day 2 of a tournament, the other 2 seem to freeze somehow, which makes the player on the roll even more confident which in turn seems to intimidate the other 2 etc etc ad nauseam.I am curious about the FJ category tomorrow, as well as the difficulty level within that category. Friday is usually a day where the clues are very easy compared to the rest of the week. But this is a tournament, so I am REALLY curious about their pick as FJ category!
